How about creating a crowdsourced captcha service?
Take scans of your journal pages, split the jpegs/pics into word fragments, display a couple of fragments to captcha clients, generate completed journal entries when the consensus gets reasonably high for each word fragment.
Not sure how captcha services start from scratch - probably ask around/check with google search.
Privacy goes out the door, but you should be able to show disjointed word fragments so no one could reconstruct enough of a single journal entry to expose your more personal info unless they were very determined. Or maybe split the scans into individual letter fragments instead?
Then monetize this for other people in the same situation...
I love this idea. It’s way overengineered for this problem, and I already have a startup that requires my complete attention, but thank you for writing this out.
And if anyone decides to do this, let me know!
Privacy is one of the reasons I would pay for a service like this, rather than pay a person to (try) to do it.
These journals contain a lot of psychiatric-level information about me, which is both what makes it valuable and sensitive.
